These days, construction companies are beginning to be concerned
about a potential labor shortage by demographic changes and an
aging construction work force. Also, an improvement in construction
safety could not only reduce accidents but also decrease the cost
of the construction, and is therefore one of the imperative goals
of the construction industry. These challenges correspond to the
potential for Automation and Robotics in Construction as one of
solutions. Almost half of construction work is said to be material
handling and materials used for construction are heavy and bulky
for humans. To date, various types of robots have been developed
for glazed panel construction. Through the case studies on
construction, to which the robots were applied, however, we
identified difficulties to be overcome. In this study, a
human-robot cooperative system is deduced as one approach to
surmount these difficulties; then, considerations on interactions
among the operator, robot and environment are applied to design of
the system controller. The human-robot cooperative system can cope
with various and construction environments through real-time
interaction with a human, robot and construction environment
simultaneously. The physical power of a robot system helps a human
to handle heavy construction materials with a relatively
scaled-down load. Also, a human can feel and respond to the force
reflected from robot end effecter acting with working environment.
Through the experiments and mock-up tests with a prototype robot,
we observe the characteristics of the power assist and the force
reflection, the merits of the human-robot cooperation system. To
apply human-robot cooperative system at real construction sites,
Glazed Ceiling Panel Construction Robot is developed for the first
time. This robot is distinguished from other glazed panel
construction robots because of the methods of lifting the panel to
high installation positions and installing the fragile and bulk
panel with robot force control. After applying to real construction
sites, evaluation on the productivity of the developed robot was
done by comparing and analyzing with the existing installation
methods.
